Walk with Obi and Wade
September 30, 2021 | 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
On September 30, 2021, join naturalist, artist, and bestselling author Obi Kauffman and Wade Crowfoot, California’s Secretary of Natural Resources, as they take a revitalized perspective on environmentalism and the future of California. On a camping trip in the Sierra Buttes, the pair will explore California’s nature and engage in deep conversation on urgent topics, including wildfires, water shortage, climate change, and an action plan to be better stewards of the Golden State’s biodiversity.
When a naturalist with a breathtaking artistic vision and a political pragmatist with 19,000 employees and a four billion dollar budget come together to solve pressing issues of California’s lands, where do they begin?
